"For more reasons than one. Commanders and Terry McLaurin finally come to their senses on megabucks extension McLaurin hasn't practiced for months. He's now got the best part of a fortnight to get himself up to speed before Washington takes the field in Week 1 against the New York Giants. His already developed chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels should keep complications to a minimum, but time is of the essence."
"Both McLaurin and the Commanders probably feel like they came out of this well. The former third-round pick got the money he was looking for (again, we'll have to see the guarantees), and Washington gets to keep one of its franchise cornerstones happy heading into a crucial campaign. This deal should also protect the Commanders from any severe regression. Adam Peters is a tough negotiator, so he won't have signed off on the contract without some security for the team, too."
Terry McLaurin signed a three-year, $96 million extension with the Washington Commanders that includes a $30 million signing bonus. The guarantee details remain undisclosed and could influence contract value perceptions. McLaurin has not practiced for months and has about two weeks to prepare before Week 1 against the New York Giants; his chemistry with quarterback Jayden Daniels should limit complications. Both McLaurin and Washington appear satisfied: McLaurin secured desired compensation while the team retained a franchise cornerstone. General manager Adam Peters negotiated protections to guard against potential late-career regression, and absence of trade interest increased the likelihood of retention.
